Will Colombia get away with police crimes against humanity?
by Adriaan Alsema
September 3, 2021
Colombia’s chief prosecutor is desperately trying to sweep evidence of the assassinations of least 44 anti-government protesters by police under the rug.
In a report to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), human rights NGO Temblores presented evidence that would prove police committed mass murder in an apparent attempt to quell the protests that were held earlier this year.
The NGO said that it was still verifying possible police involvement in the killing of another 11 protesters of the 72 who were assassinated while taking part in the massive protests.
The IACHR is investigating the crimes against humanity committed by the police and armed supporters of the increasingly tyrannical government of President Ivan Duque.

It will be a blessing when Duque is voted out of office. He's a horrible president.
